Help our tree grow! Encourage your kids to bring their favorite or original poems to be hung as the leaves of our Poet Tree that is planted at the library entrance.
The High School celebrates the Poetry Month with the Poetry Night on April 23: students will read either their own poetry or their favorite poems.
The Academy of American Poets honors it with Poem in Your Pocket Day on April 30. The idea is simple: pick up a poem, carry it in your pocket, and pass it to family, friends, cooworkers. Browse this site and select poems for the day.
You will see posters around the campus and "pockets" filled with poems in the library so everyone will be able to take one and pass it on .
Here are some links and ideas of how to use digital tools to make the Poetry Month a fun:
